Hey Y’all! 

I haven’t been in the monitoring program very long and I’m tryIng to get an idea on what I need to budget for testing. I recently had 2 tests in 3 day, with one being a specialty test that was pricey. Now I haven’t had to test in almost 2 weeks. Just wanted to make sure this is normal. It’s not a big deal as I am sober and have been for a long time, Im just hoping to get a grasp on what a normalish month of testing is like. I’m seeing in other posts it can pick up around holidays and end dates, but haven’t found much info about those years (?) in the middle. Thanks!

Did you find out what the $138 test was for?

Agreed!  My review date was last Tuesday and I received a letter saying I met criteria for release from the program but to continue all program requirements (meetings, check ins, testing) until I received the official exit letter.  It even had me go ahead and fill in the exit survey and send in other exit documentation, so I did.  I was then hair tested last Wednesday and today (five days later) blood and urine again.  $500 worth of testing in less than a week!  Lord, help me!  Ready to wake up from this five year long, money-draining nightmare!

It was actually $140 and it was for Kratom.

Hi All:)

So, I am new to this too...how are you billed? 

Do you have to pay at time of testing?

Thanks,

Kathy

In FL you have to pay prior to the test.  Either keep a balance in your account for testing or pay the day of on the app.  They used to have a program where you could go into arrears up to two tests but that was stopped this year, I think in February or early March.
